Social Profile:

Our quaint, Sinatra-era steakhouse in the small coastal town of Saugatuck was a vision born in 2014. Now entering our tenth year, Bowdie’s Chophouse in Saugatuck is built on our great customer base and wonderful employees. Bowdie’s Chophouse is the type of high-class quality you’d expect to find in Lower Manhattan. When you walk in, you’ll first notice the rustic elegance in the woodgrain and leather appointments. The more rustic elements are perfectly contrasted, and therefore complimented, by the elegant tableware and white linens. This should be your first signal that you’re in for incredible quality food.

Posh, casual, neighborhood nook with choice steak mains & creative cocktails, plus an outdoor patio.

Looking forward to celebrating 49 years of marriage to my beautiful wife. I’ve been here once before we took our family there looking to recreate that great experience

Haven’t been to this location in quite some time. Had 5pm Reservations this past Sunday. We were seated in the upstairs part of the Restaurant. Very cozy and quiet. Lea was our Server, she was so nice and friendly and was always there when we needed her. We started with the Shrimp Cocktail. Lea warned us that the Cocktail sauce had a kick, and it did not disappoint! Great Shrimp with strong Horseradish flavor in the sauce. We both ordered Steak which was perfectly cooked/seasoned.We shared the Au Gratin Potatoes and the Creamed Spinach which was plenty for two people to share. We had the Red Velvet Cheesecake for dessert, which was a perfect ending to the meal. We were celebrating a Birthday and really enjoyed ourselves! Thank you Lea!

Though EVERY staff member we encountered was extraordinarily delightful, it was like our server Ryanne knew us personally. The food was beyond amazing and was everything Ryanne said it would be. The atmosphere upstairs was intimate. The cost is not for the faint of heart, but when out spending the evening celebrating with the love of your life, cost was not the focus.

Fantastic dinner! Went on our honeymoon, we got the escargot, grilled Cesar salad, potatoes au gratin, filet mignon and ribeye, and the peanut butter brownie for dessert. Food was fabulous, service impeccable. Wouldn’t change a thing.

The filet mignon was great and they nailed the temperature. They initially seated us at a weird table where I was practically sitting next to the guy behind me. We got moved to a better table. Our server wasn’t very attentive to our table at times because he was busy yakking about the restaurant industry to the table next to us. But other than that we had a good time.

Awesome experience for an expensive dinner out on the town at Bowdie’s. Got this place recommended by multiple locals, so had to check it out. We had Ryanne as our server and they did a phenomenal job! Very attentive, friendly, and provided great service through a slow, not rushed dinner.

Drinks were good and food came out quick. We had the grilled ceasar salad, 10oz fillet, brussel sprouts, and a gratin potatoes. Everything was quite yummy. Steak was cooked perfectly (medium rare). We even got a free dessert since we’re on our honeymoon! The red velvet cheesecake was decadent.

Recommend a reservation.

If we’re ever back in town this’ll definitely be a place to stop. Only thing that wasn’t perfect was the volume. Towards the end of the night some of the other guests got really loud, and since it’s a small place it was really loud at our table as well. Server apologized for it and all was well, but know that if folks get too boisterous it’ll get loud!

Bowdies Chophouse delivered an excellent dining experience overall! My absolute favorites were the Dirty Martini—perfectly made—and the wedge salad, which was crisp, flavorful, and beautifully presented.

We ordered the ribeye, and it was cooked to perfection—carved tableside by our charming and attentive waiter, which added a special touch. The horseradish sauce is a must—elevates the steak to the next level.

For sides, the potatoes au gratin were incredible—rich, cheesy, and perfectly baked. The creamed spinach, however, missed the mark for me—too watery (1/5). The crab cake appetizer was just okay (2/5), not bad but not memorable.

Service was phenomenal from start to finish—attentive, professional, and friendly. A great spot for a special night out, and I’d definitely come back for the steak, salad, and martinis!

Three of us ordered the filet done medium. The cut was beautiful and tender. However, one arrived MW, one M, and one MR. All three were heavily crusted in salt that interfered with the flavor of the beef. Our server was very friendly. The drink refills, bar and softdrinks, was very slow. Overall it was not a good value for the pricepoint

We went to Bowdie’s on August 2nd and I picked it for my 30th. I had to write a review ASAP! I was a little worried since I wanted a really nice dinner for my birthday and did not know what to expect as we are from IL. It was an amazing experience and nothing will ever beat this experience anywhere. Our waitress Ann was funny, thoughtful, and was just overall the best. Ann helped me pick out a cocktail and customized it to my liking and went over the food in detail. The food is amazing and top notch. My husband and I will definitely be back and to also have Ann as our waitress! Would definitely recommend.

For a very special night out Bowdie’s Chophouse works great! You’ll find some other great restaurants in Saugatuck, but for a steak house this is at the top of the list!! Can be a bit pricey, but then again you will appreciate it on all levels – it is truly impeccable – fantastic service and preparation! There are some other very good steak houses in close by towns we’ve been to too, but we think Bowdie’s truly blows them away – so if you are in Saugatuck enjoy Bowdie’s!
